Honouring leadership, excellence, and community spirit
BRIDGEWATER Primary School has proudly celebrated the graduation of its two Grade 6 students, Bruce Bennie and Angus Ferguson, at this year’s awards night.
Bruce joined Bridgewater Primary in Grade 5 and quickly became an integral part of our school community.
His leadership skills were recognised this year when he was named vice-captain.
At the awards night, Bruce was presented with the Excellence Award for his outstanding academic achievements, generously sponsored by the Kooyoora Women’s Network.
Principal Matthew Lehane said: “Bruce has made a lasting impact on our school community during his time here, and we look forward to seeing all that he will achieve in the years ahead.”
Angus has been a part of Bridgewater Primary since starting in Foundation in 2017.
This year, Angus was school captain, demonstrating strong leadership, a love of sport, and a commitment to school values.
A passionate football and cricket player, Angus was awarded the Allan Bunnett Memorial Award.
This award recognises a student who exemplifies integrity, community spirit, and pride in our school, reflecting the legacy of Allan Bunnett.
“Angus’s contribution to our school has been outstanding, and we know he will continue to thrive as he takes the next step in his education,” Mr Lehane said.
In addition to celebrating the two graduates, several other students were recognised for their achievements and contributions:
Amaya Warke received the School Value of Respect Award, generously donated by Loddon Shire, for exemplifying the value of respect in her interactions with peers and teachers.
Ruby Wilson was recognised for her outstanding Improvement in Learning, also sponsored by Loddon Shire, reflecting her commitment to academic growth.
Emily Bailey was awarded for Displaying the Value of Relationships, an honour donated by the Inbglewood Lions Club, recognising her ability to foster positive and meaningful connections within the school community.
The awards night was a special occasion for the Bridgewater community.
“We were able to celebrate the achievements of our students and recognising their hard work, leadership, and commitment to our school values,” Mr Lehane said.
